  • Publication number: 20160355142
    Abstract: A bracket for mounting an electronic assembly comprises a base bracket for connection to a generally horizontal member or stationary support bar of a vehicle. A back member is coupled to the base bracket by one or more isolators. The back member has a set of first holes arranged in generally vertical array. A guide rail is attached to the back member. A slidable member is adapted for slidably engaging the guide rail. A support member comprises a shelf for supporting the electronic assembly and a support portion connected to the slidable member.

  • Publication number: 20160355143
    Abstract: A first guide rail extends substantially laterally on the vehicle. The first guide rail has a central slot for lateral adjustment of a base member. The base member is slidable or movable along the first guide rail until secured by one or more fasteners. A back member is coupled to the base member by the one or more isolators. The back member has one or more holes arranged in generally vertical array. A second guide rail is attached to the back member. A slidable member is capable of slidably engaging the second guide rail for releasing the electronic assembly or for adjusting a vertical adjustment of a height of the electronic assembly. A support member comprises a shelf for supporting the electronic assembly and a support portion connected to the slidable member.

  • Publication number: 20160355077
    Abstract: A vehicle canopy comprises a stationary support bar that has substantially vertical base sections, tilted vertical sections tilted at an angle with respect to the respective base sections. A horizontal section extends between the tilted vertical sections. The horizontal section or the stationary support bar has a first peak height. A set of subsidiary stationary support bars is connected to the vertical base sections of the stationary support bar. The subsidiary stationary support bar has a second peak height less than the first peak height. A first support member has a set of mounting plates mounted above corresponding vertical base sections of the stationary support bar for supporting the first support member. A set of mounting flanges is on the subsidiary stationary supports. A second support member is supported by the mounting flanges.

  • Patent number: 6606571
    Abstract: A flow sensor for use in a harvester is disclosed. The flow sensor has a microwave transceiver for transmitting a microwave signal and receiving a reflected microwave signal, an in-phase mixer electrically connected to the microwave transceiver for combining the transmitted microwave signal and the reflected microwave signal and outputting an in-phase Doppler signal, a quadrature mixer electrically connected to the microwave transceiver for combining the transmitted microwave signal and a delayed reflected microwave signal and outputting the quadrature Doppler signal, and an electronic circuit electrically connected to the in-phase mixer and the quadrature mixer and having a flow rate output.
